Episode 19: Mom of Teenagers Speaks Her Mind
12/05/11

How often are we able to truly hear what parent’s think? Sure, we ask them .. and you might get the one parent that is brutally honest with you. But usually, that honesty comes with hurt and pain attached. Well, this week, we asked one of our own – Kami Gilmour – to share with us her view of Student Ministry. With love flowing and nothing but praise for Youth Pastors across the world, Kami shared with us her joys and frustrations with Youth Pastors.. and let us into the mind of a parent. As she shared her heart, she also shared her encouragement, saying “you’ll never know how much you matter.” Also.. knowing that many of us work tirelessly to help make an impact, she said “for every Thank You, there are 100 unspoken.” Powerful words. As she wrapped up her personal views (from the parental side) she stressed how Youth Pastors/Workers/Leaders must partner with parents. One of the cardinal sins of Youth Minsitry is not having any relationship with the parents… as well as making the parents out to be the “bad guy.” Lastly, as the “Queen” (Director) of the Simply Youth Ministry Conference, she shared with us the importance of community and that the Simply Youth Ministry Team has been “called to love on Youth Workers everywhere. Every Youth Worker that walks in feels valued, loved and known.” Make sure you register and stay up to date with information here on the website. Want to join in the conversation?
